UPDATES BEFORE A TRIP

I’m going to I don’t know exactly where for about 2 weeks. ;)
My auntie -who is also my godmother… Who cares?- asked me to go to Madrid, where she lives, because she wanted to go on a trip with me. She’s already taken me to Poland and Lisboa, but I suppose this time will be a monastery in the middle of Castille where she is going to teach music to the nuns there. I know she does that every year, so I guess that’s what we are going to do. Anyway, I would really like to visit that place. I often say that I would become a nun if they were not religious (in case you don’t know yet, I’m a convinced atheist and happy with that :D), because I like team working and living in a big place surrounded by art and/or nature (well, that’s more or less how I actually live, but we are only 4 at home and we don’t usually do what we call ‘team work’:p).

I’m writing all this just to say that communication may be delayed, but to reduce the amount of people pending to be approved to join my fanlistings, I’m going right now to update them all.
Oh, by the way, PHPfanBase has just been released in Spanish (translated by me ;)). Sasha has allowed me to distribute it in Spanish. I use one version I made for personal use, and it works cooly :P, but I made some changes to the one I made for distribution, and I think it works fine too (I have just checked it). Anyway, if you find any bugs or something and would like to drop me a line about that I’ll do really appreciate it :D

Well, this is all so far.
Take care, have fun, don’t miss me :P I’ll be back ;)

THEORY OF THE FANLISTING MANAGEMENT

This morning I had about 20 applications in my mailbox to join the fanlistings I run (everybody chooses Sundays to join! ;)) and I have just got through all of them. :D Nobody has been at home for three hours and I was feeling a bit lonely, but having just done all that makes me fell really well. It may sound really stupid, but that’s the way it is.
I manage all my fanlistings with PHP scripts, but I answer almost all of the applications personally. I usually include comments on their sites too… All that can be a little time consuming and -why not saying it?- “a pain”, but I feel so great after doing it :D
Come on, will you (yes, YOU, my dear reader ;)) dare to say that you wouldn’t love receiving some feedback after taking the effort of uploading a code and filling application forms? But not that asseptic response some scripts send to you: I mean “true” answers. Isn’t receiving visitors and knowing from them the main reason we all have to join cliques, fanlistings and so on?
Well, I have the time (and if not, I manage to find it) to send some words to everyone. Plus, some members end up by replying my message and thanks to that system I met some really interesting people…
In case you haven’t noticed yet, I’m writing all this just to say that asking all the time for “love me, love me! comments please, comments please! sign my gbook! give me an award!” it’s too easy. The difficult stuff usually gives to the best results: to get a gram of love you have to give tons of love first… Visit sites, show them love, that’s it. I know this is common sense, but I’ve seen round there a lot of so-called webmasters & webmisress that sit there in front of their webcams expecting everyone to suck up to them…

OMG, I thinks this is the longest post ever in my “blogging life” :P I think that “giving too much love” numbs my brain and makes me write all this phylosophical stuff. Sorry about boring you :D But I won’t erase it… I’m sure I will find all this interesting after one year or so. Thanks for reading anyway ;)

DONATIONS ACCEPTED ;)

Well, I’m planning to upgrade “our” account.
If you want to collaborate by donating a small amount of money (3 euros, 3 dollars it’s ok), it would be great, mainly to convince my parents that my “webhobby” :P is not such a “waste”…
But it’s not really necessary, if you don’t want, can’t or whatever it’s ok too :D
Psst! You can also donate if you like any of my other websites and want to encourage me to keep the illusion, but -once again- money is not my moto (thanks heavens! ;)) so… As you wish :D

If you want to donate, click here: DONATE x)

I’m bussy this days: I will soon upload the Spanish versions of some very popular PHP scripts made by Sasha (she gave me permission to distribute them, yay! :D), but I still have to polish them a little bit more.

Ciao!

MONZOON

I don’t understand how so many people in the World can believe that Spain, with such a big territory, can have only one climate.
It’s not horribly hot and sunny everywhere all the time; for example, the Autonomous Community of Galicia is under a monzonic rain right now :P

QUIET

I went with my family yesterday to a dinner in which there was a man I hadn’t seen for ages and he kept ALL THE TIME saying how fat I had grown, it really annoyed me…

Bah, whatever. I’ve uploaded ALL my SITES, I even added one subdomain for “my” character in a gymnastics roleplay game I’m in :P
I still have a lot of extra stuff to add to my fanlistings, but if I finish everything in one day I wouldn’t have entertainment for the rest of the year! I would have to apply for more fanlistings ;)

I hope that all you dear hostees are doing ok; I’ve seen that Adrian, Teja and Ajda are being the most active ones. I’ve also seen that Arianne & Isabelle have finished their Spanish project and I hope they will get a good mark for it :D

Oh, incidentally, for the first time in my life :P I’ve asked one of my sites to be reviewed. I’m really frightened because is that “usugared” one you recommended, but I think it’ll be interesting. Moreover, after hearing over and over again how fat I’ve grown I think I can survive to everything, lol ;)

Take care, have fun.

Calítoe.:.

¡UF!

I’m updating every single site I run (hurray! No more fanlistings on the upcoming list!). So, hopefully, I will have everything decent (more or less ;)) by Sunday.

I have still a bunch of e-mails to answer, but I am very aware of that; I don’t forget you, it’s just that I haven’t had the time yet, I’ll get back to you asap ;)

By the way, if anyone is interested, I went swimming to the river this afternoon with my dog, but he only knows how to keep floating, he cannot actually swim, so I ended up by having to go rescue him :P

THE BEST DAY…

Hi, I just wanted to say that I have just had a great, wonderful day with my 2 of my cousins from Madrid: Carlos & Fernando. They came as pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela (the place where I’m studying and living during the school year). It’s been great being with them after so much time, and their friends are so funny… :D Boys in Galicia are not so easy going, with girls I mean; I’ve had a really nice time, but they had to leave so early… I hope to see them again soon…
Sorry, I just had to mention it :P

Yes, Ajda, I’ve seen that you’ve been visitor number 500 ;) And by the way, it was me the one who put the “I love simple layouts” up there, but it was just to make it visible to 800×600 screen resolutions. Anyway, the site looks much better in 1024×768.
I’m going home tomorrow, so I will be able to “work” in mending those tiny things and to do whatever I want in a more relaxed way… Well, that’s the theory :P

Calítoe.:.

AT LAST!

About time too, eh? ;) I am on my first day of holidays (yey!) and I managed to upload a new layout for collectanea.org whose main image has been made by the nice, glorious, etc Ajda! :D
I’ve edited it a bit, so maybe this isn’t what you had in mind when you made it… Sorry, if that’s the case! I can change it if you want to!
And yes, I know there are things that need to be finished, but oh, well… I’m rather tired today, more ramblings tomorrow :)
Remember that if you are a hostee at collectanea.org, you can post here whenever you want… If you are not a hostee, you will always have the comments :D
